Nightrain Lyrics
Flyin like a Narrow plane
Feelin like a space brain
One more time tonight
Well I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
And honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail
With a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight
Honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card
To the liquor store
That's one for you and
Two for me by tonight
I'll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like a Narrow plane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain
Never to return-no
Flyin' like a Narrow plane
Speedin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the nightrain
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm ready to crash and burn
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Whoa yeah
I'm on the nightrain
Love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
An I can never get enough
Ridin' the nightrain
I guess I
I guess, I guess, I guess
I never learn
On the nightrain
Float me home
Ooh I'm on the nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
Never to return
Nightrain
NO NO NO NO!!! NIGHTRAIN! If you remember...It used to be a rippel wine homeless drunks used to drink! GNR could only afford it in the beginning! DUH!
We were living in the Gardener Street studio, where we had one little box of a room. We had no money but we could dig up a buck to go down to this liquor store. It happened to have this great wine called Nightrain that would fuck you up for a dollar. Five dollars and you'd be gone. We lived off this stuff.
Duff - Hit Parader March 1988
night train IS a liquor, good stuff...it's about just gettin hammered and not giving a fuck driving drunk and ready to die CRASH & BURN... CHEERS!
It's obviously about being drunk and the nightrain is the comparison for being drunk compared to being 'normal'.
Ready to crash and burn, I'll never learn
I can relate to that part. GNR is so good at putting down on paper what I want to say, but don't have the writing skills to. salutes
slash himself says in his auto biography that they came up with the lyrics while they were walkin down the street sharing a bottle of night train and they just started yelling out the chorus and thats were the song came from. i think slash was bein sarcastic when they played at that live show but im not sure
One of my absolute favorites with Guns N' Roses, hits the spot on a lazy Sunday!
Amazing song!!!!!!!!
For me: One of the best songs of Guns n Roses!!!!!
great great song, brilliant , best drinking song ever by far, brilliant metaphor
This song makes me drive fast.
